Working for the Weekend

PodCamp Boulder + Goremet

Yesterday, as I was sitting at The Cup talking on Twitter, Kit Seeborg (@zsazsa) let me know that I should just come by for PodCamp Boulder.  Since the event was almost over (it was around 3pm) – I figured I’d just stop by and say hi (and enjoy myself a nice cup or two of Flying Dog Beer).  I am so glad I did.

PodCamp Boulder – organized by Jeremy Tanner (@penguin) and hosted at the skinnycorp/Threadless Offices.  Since I missed most of the sessions, I can only really comment on the community.  Boulder has a great community.  There are so many great people and personalities.  While, I haven’t met everyone, the people I have met are all friendly and very intelligent.  I learn a lot just from the random conversations that pop up when people of similar interests get together.

At the end of the day, one of the last sessions was “Thriller” – which involved teaching the attendees how to dance like the Zombies from the Thriller video. (Not sure if it was inspired by this Threadless t-shirt or not, but the shirt itself is awesome enough to get it’s own link.)  I did not participate – mostly because there’s enough video of me dancing online.

(video quality is suspect: sorry!)

After filming some of the dancing,  I instead participated in the final session – including some good bits on micro-celebrity and various talk on consultants, twitter followers, brands and names – all the typical stuff that happens at those things.

After PodCamp, many of the attendees decided to make the trek to Denver and head to “Goremet.” I scored a ride with Cornbread and Jeremy, and we swapped stories of rouge driving and people who talk about their followers.  Goremet was great – the same people who were just talking tech together now watching horror movies and eating Kitty Litter Cake.  We watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Jessica Biel FTW!).  After that, I took a ride back to Boulder (Thanks again @stepan) and called it a night.

Overall, not a bad way to spend a Saturday night – especially when it just kind of unfolds organically.

    George, thanks for coming out! I had a great time at PodCamp watching presentations, having a few beers and of course, documenting Thriller!
